Gestures at a wedding or christening

Yes, again. Because they deserve it. Because they are the main characters of the moments that wedding photographers love so much and propel them to those starts, as if they were Olympic athletes, when, on the other side of the room, they detect one of those.

Because the amount with which they happen does not let him quiet for a moment and, especially, they are, the gestures, the reason about the ties between the people we can find, in the weddings or christenings.

They can be, only, some acts of affection, they can happen between the wedding couple or between several guests, they can belong to the older or the young, they come from those least expected and they are always in quantity from those who make them a strong reason for living.

As a photographer, gestures are the subjects for my best photos.

I am glad about that because it is within the gestures where I found them, as the photographer at the wedding, they are a substantial number of subjects for my best photos.

It is as if, through the photos, they remain eternally and transport their importance in time, as if they were those flag Buddhist prayers in the wind wishing the best for everybody and in every place. Photos can do that.

They will fly away from the intention of the gesture by the winds of time, whenever we want and need them again, and feel that they are always there.

Every time I notice them, I catch them.
